New Poll Finds Americans Increasingly Distrust Federal Government by webdesk@voanews.com (VOA News): 
According to a Pew Research Center survey released Monday, only 19 percent of Americans trust the government “always or most of the time.”

This is in stark contrast to just 15 years ago, in the wake of the September 11th attacks, when 60 percent of Americans said they trusted the government.
Since then trust has been steadily eroding in the face of the Iraq War and the economic uncertainty.

A mere 20 percent described government-run programs as well-run.
The survey also suggests that some of the cynicism may be driven by the influence of money on political campaigns, with 76 percent of respondents saying money “has a greater influence on politics and elected officials today than in the past." Sixty-four percent said the amount of money it takes to run for president "discourages many good candidates from running."

"Bunny Friend Playground": 

Police Investigate New Orleans Shooting That Left 16 Wounded - NYTimes.com

Russia's President Vladimir Putin, left, meets with Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in Tehran, Iran, Nov. 23, 2015.

M.N.: Two "supremos" and de-facto heads of their intelligence services (which are bound by a formal cooperation agreement) understand each other very well; they speak the same language, share the same goal of "Death to America" and conduct their joint operations on "Bunny Friend's Playground" and worldwide. And the band just plays on...

• Hollande to Press Obama, Putin for Terror Response - Bloomberg Business: 

‘End of Europe’

The U.S. realizes it will have to offer Hollande something on a united front against Islamic State including Russia but the lack of trust in Putin makes this very difficult, an American official said. At most, the Obama administration could publicly welcome Russian strikes against IS and agree informally with Russia on dividing up areas controlled by the militant group for targeting. 

No intelligence-sharing or coordination of military activity is likely, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because the matter is confidential.

Other European Union powers also need to make a show of support to prevent Putin from parading himself as France’s ally in the wake of the terrorist attacks, former Italian Prime Minister Enrico Letta said.

“If we let Putin appear as the real ally of France, it will be the end of Europe,” Letta said in an interview. “That’s the risk, that’s what’s happening.”

Putin's Emergency Politics by By MAXIM TRUDOLYUBOV: 

"The Russian president uses unrest to get what he wants, at home and abroad." 

_______________________

The KGB master plan and "Bunny Friend Playground"

M.N.: To address the bottom line, and as always IMVHSPO (in my very humble and strictly personal opinion). 
Russia and Russian military (which might be one of the least corrupt government institutions, along with some security services) eventually will be (and have to be) admitted into the Western sphere of influences, powers and alliances, to which Russia belonged historically and culturally, if only, always and highly ambivalently, with "mysterious Russian soul's" artful rending of peasant garments and gnashing of sharp noble teeth, endless erasianistic conflicts, Orthodox Byzantine and unorthodox Marxist cries and prolonged and the most sincere moanings. 
But we do not know when and how it will happen. 
To proceed with this process now and under the current circumstances, under the aura of "emergency", with Putin's Russia, which is essentially a criminal enterprise masking as a state, (in the opinion of great many, if not all Russia watchers), is equivalent to surrendering to a blackmail on a global scale and selling out to the offered protection racket, also on a global scale. This process, in its current design, will not stop at that; the KGB master plan (according to my obsessive conspiracy theory, which might not be that far from the truth and reality) is the complete subjugation of Western societies by subversive actions from within and systematic, well planned and thought through "special operations", also on a global scale. It is the same plan for a "world revolution", in a new form and with the more or less new devices but with the same criminal content and intent. 
Mr. Putin possesses considerable, skillful and inventive, seductive political "charms". These are the "charms" of a political psychopath, much more so than any other politician's (many of them are, by definition and necessity). To apply intel lingo and role definitions, he is first of all and most of all, a political "Recruiter", experienced and talented one, although deeply cold, detached and highly calculating as a person, who, nevertheless, searches the emotional contacts and satisfaction in his activities as a side benefit and emotional gratification.
He is also driven by deep hatred of the West and most of all, of the U.S., who, as he believes, rightly or wrongly, are out to dethrone him and harm him and Russia, with which he is linked in his mind by his narcissistic extension. His personal and political psychodynamics (also not unlike those of many other politicians and rooted in the "big hurts" of early life experiences) is to win the love of his symbolic parents - the Russian people and to protect them. In the process, he sees nothing wrong in helping himself and his cronies for his "valuable services". 
When in trouble and is punished, as he is now, he creates a new mischief to resolve the situation and to come out as a forgiven and lovable victor, who should not be judged for his past transgressions. 
Be it as it may, all these attempts at explanation and "psychologizing" are schematic, almost irrelevant and insufficient. His political moves are highly pragmatic, practical and, in all their simplicity of one direction, hit multiple birds and targets with multiple stones. Beside that, these policies are not his personally but a collective product, carefully worked out by consensus and expertise of many analytical groups, who share the same mentality, schooling, experiences and outlook. 
There is no way and vector for Russia other than Western and European. China, with all her polite and foxy smiles, just waits patiently until minerals rich Eastern Siberia falls into her lap like an overripe fruit, by itself. It can afford to wait and considers those provinces rightfully hers, ethnically and historically. The creeping Chinese economic expansion and political influence in Russian Far East is unmistakably and well on its way even now. The old man cannot go East. The only way he can go is West and he tries to do this by tickling its hot underbelly - the Middle East.
The conclusions are self-evident: 
Do not submit to a blackmail and do not sugarcoat it; expose and counteract it with firmness. Intensify intelligence and counterintelligence responses to Russian, their allies and proxies transgressions, identify the opponents clearly. America is so saturated with spies, foreign agents, "special operatives" and "fifth columns" as probably never before in her history. These are not just "troubled souls", they are dedicated enemies with the assignments. They are not just "lonely wolfs", religious fanatics and Islamic militants. Religion and fanaticism are just convenient covers and "false flags" for carefully and methodically planned and executed hostile intelligence operations and acts of social, economic, informational, political and psychological wars. Sometimes, and probably not infrequently, mentally ill or unstable persons are used for these operations, the special psychological technics might be used. Sometimes the simple monetary rewards would do, the gangs and organised crime undoubtedly play very significant roles in these activities. "What and how" of this "bidniz": statistics, structure, moda operandi are not known to us, either because the firm knowledge is not accumulated and processed yet or because simply this information is not made public, or both. Increasingly, alarmingly, intolerably, America becomes an easy target, a "Bunny Friend Playground" for her enemies. And all this is almost nothing, "small flowers", which can be put to use to identify potential loopholes, to put a utilitarian spin on it. Who knows what might happen, from what corner and how, if, God forbids, the fan is really obstructed. 
These are very dangerous times, indeed. And they require adequate and very resolute response. 
Mr. Obama, take the restrictive noose off the security services, let them act and work as they see fit. This is a small scale war, for all practical intents and purposes. 
To prevent it from growing and degenerating into a large scale war, let your intelligence and counterintelligence soldiers fight in honest as they want to (which will not necessarily involve "boots on the ground" and casualties, it might prevent them); do not hold them back. These are not the times for pseudo-liberal games, self-deception is dangerous more than ever, placating the "thugs and gangsters", their instigators and "hidden hands" who want to create havoc and mayhem and rule in your home is not a security policy, it is a road to disaster. 
Continue sanctions, as you rightly and skillfully do with the Europeans as a single team, and if the need be indefinitely, until the tangible results are achieved. 
With the oil price below $45 (stabilization of oil market and, apparently cleansing it from commodities speculators and agents-saboteurs, might be one of the most significant and least noticeable and appreciated achievements of Obama administration), and 30 years generational cycle (1920-s - 1950-s - 1980-s - 2010-s) the authentic "regime change" generated internally appears to be inevitable and a matter of the next few years (5 to 10). 
It is worth waiting and assisting the process to deal with Russia that is renewed and healthy, genuinely pro-Western as she should be and genuinely friendly and a reliable ally, than to deal with the corrupt criminal mafia state on its deathbed. 
One wise man said: when Russia is as small as Switzerland, it will be as sweet as Swiss chocolate. And I would add: or, with big holes and as tasty as Swiss cheese.
